3rd annual Airport Development Summit

Australia’s network of airports is a key element to the national economic infrastructure, securing trade, employment and tourism to many remote and regional areas. Privatisation of these airports has led to accelerated investment in development and despite current economic frailties further major investments are planned to meet expected growth. Increasingly, airports are seeking to find non-aeronautical revenue sources to supplement the rise in fuel prices and the possible future down turn in aviation travel.

Aviation Business Asia Pacific, Australia’s premier magazine for the aviation industry is proud to host the 3rd Annual Airport Development 2009 on 23 - 24 June at the HarboursEdge Events Centre, Sydney. The conference will assess the latest projects, regulations and forecasts throughout the international airport community whilst providing a specific focus on Australia’s regional aviation sector. In addition to Government regulation, you will also hear market leading opinions on airport retail, real estate development, airline interaction and environmental management, all with a distinct regional feel.
